Message: [QUOTE="huskyd, post: 3842547, member: 6488"] It's interesting how the New Haven Register writers break down UConn. They separate Nika, Liv, and Aaliyah from Paige as well as the two "shooters" Evina and Christyn. The first group "holds the fort," plays aggressive D and sets screens for group 2, the shooters (especially for Buckets). Then, all things being equal, [I]Minnesota Slim [/I](coined by the Register) takes over, doing what is needed to get the win. Sounds too pat and it is. Better for Liv to stop shooting from way outside. Better for Aaliyah to develop a 15 footer from the elbow. Nika is perfectly who she is: a bringer of energy and fight, a baby-faced assassin. If the drought continues for Christyn and Evina, we're in trouble. Williams has some kind of psychological block; Westbrook seems more than a little banged up. As others have speculated, it just can't be Slim and the Rest. [/QUOTE]
